Igloo Magazine

igloomag.com/about Igloo Magazine's mission from day one was to introduce readers to the burgeoning undergrowth of electronic musicians spanning the globe.

Pulling together a vast tapestry of like-minded contributors, the virtual Igloo doors officially opened December of 2000. The goal was (and still is) to provide coverage from the most obscure to the relatively well-known musicians creating left-of-center music not necessarily covered in general music media ::

Armed with a handful of literary musical masterminds, Igloo Magazine has published artic

les in the capacity of reviews, features and profiles for musicians and imprints that wouldn't normally receive the light of digital ink. Striving at the delivery of well executed coverage, Igloo Magazine continues to promote the best in many electronic genre's from one spectrum to the next ::

Ümlaut ///

NEW ALBUM OUT NOW!

Ümlaut: The Black Square

When the image came to him in a dream Jeff Düngfelder turned it into an album called “Ümlaut: The Black Square.” Using a reductive approach from concept to finish, Ümlaut has gone back to basics. Using only synthesizers and tape loops to explore the nether regions of sound while employing a deliberate compositional approach, simple electronic sounds mix and mingle as their relationships interchange. The result is something new and unexpected. Like Kazimir Malevich’s revolutionary painting titled “Black Square,” where the artist, “trying desperately to free art from the dead weight of the real world…took refuge in the form of the square,” Ümlaut’s experimental sounds embark on a similar journey to freedom. Simple sounds are distilled down to their most salient textures and forms and then juxtaposed within the subtly vibrant soundscape. His love of synthesis and sound exploration is a continuation of his aesthetic intention, that of repetition and stillness, which recede quietly into the shadows. Düngfelder describes his process thusly: “This is music made in conversation with myself.”

Music composed & constructed by Jeff Düngfelder
Mixed & Mastered at the Hopmeadow Studio, Weatogue, Connecticut

Do you know Lexaunculpt? Would be great to see his return... The Blurring of Trees (Planet Mu (OFFICIAL), 2003) "Lexaunculpt was part of the American revolution in IDM in the late 90s and early 00s, along with others like Phoenecia, Richard Devine, and Kid606. He released two EPs and one LP and then disappeared, making appearances every so often on compilations and remixing other people’s work. He now teaches digital media classes at Santa Ana College." ~ Discogs
